Good morning! A lot happens in sports, even when you’re not watching, so here are the top headlines and moments from yesterday, in case you missed anything while you were watching Breaking Bad reruns on Sundance TV.
The Rim’s Revenge
Remember yesterday’s post, which featured Oklahoma City star Russell Westbrook taking out his anger on the rim with some ferocious dunks? Well, the rim came back with a vengeance and got payback. Westbrook’s dunk attempt during the Thunder’s 109-95 win over Charlotte came up a bit short. You can almost hear the rim laughing at him.

The rim also got the best of Houston forward Clint Capela, who failed to convert this alley-oop and missed the put-back attempt in the Rockets’ 123-114 loss to Detroit.

For Russ, it’s OK. His dance moves make up for it.
